Something is wrong here...
Apr. 14th, 2005 06:59 pmI've finished another vid. In less than four days since I finished the last one (which I think only five people cared about, so I suppose maybe another vid would be good because it's so depressing to be all "look at my cool new vid" and be met with resounding disinterest -- poor La Femme Nikita, no one cares if you have cool new vids in your fandom). Which is some kind of new world land-speed record for me.
Admittedly it was a movie vid, so that means your capture time for clips is lightning fast, but everything just fell into place really quickly. It's not a great vid, in the sense that I think the LFN vid I posted on Monday is a *good* vid with a story and layers and nice effects and it looks visually interesting (and![[livejournal.com profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-userinfo.gif)
killabeez called it stunning! which kind of makes up for all the disinterest because, dude, Killa said it was cool!) and I'm rather pleased with it. But this Ocean's 11 thing was going to be a quickie, I knew that, and even though I'm not that big an Ocean's 11 fan, Rusty and Danny kind of ended up speaking to me and now I'm all "OMGtheirloveissopure" about them. It's a mindless, peppy little vid, kind of like lightly salted lime tortilla chips, with just a hint of flavor and they won't fill you up but they taste okay.
I have to have one of the people I made it for beta it before I post it, but otherwise with minor tweaks, I will be able to call it done. Then I go tosherrold's house on Sunday to work on digitally remastering the best of our old Cannibals vids for the Professionals (yes! we're starting!). It's vids-o-rama.
Why can't I do this with writing?
The judge in California who was hearing our probate motion actually changed the game on us at the last minute and upped the bond my dad had to post to be executor of my sister's estate from the standard $10,000 to $20,000, so now we won't officially have charge of it until mid-week next week, when I'm scheduled to go down there to start clearing out the house. I asked Dad what could happen if they don't approve it, the fuckers (i am starting to understand why people shoot judges), and he said, well, the worst they could do is throw him in jail. I can't believe that when someone is at the worst, most painful time of their life, some asshat with too much time on his hands would decide to make that person even more miserable by changing the rules on them at the last moment. It's not bad enough you're grieving and in pain, you also have to deal with shit like this.
